Irn Bru? Don’t you mean Wreck the Hoose Juice?

1 Like

It’s a Coo on a Bru.

I don’t love Irn Bru, which tastes like Cream Soda to me. I like Coos.

I barely drink, so I probably won’t ever try Wreck the Hoose Juice.

I love Hairy Coos.

Coos are great. They can set their phasers to malky.

around 2 lb boneless leg of lamb (short leg weighed 2.9 lb with the bone), 1 large shallot, 3 carrots, 2 celery stalks, 2 chopped cloves of garlic, 3 parsnips, half tsp dried thyme, half tsp white pepper, half tsp dried rosemary, half tsp Worcestershire , 1 bay leaf, some Riesling, 3 tbsp butter, 3 tbsp flour,

butter and flour dumplings: 2/3 cup flour, 3 tbsp butter, 3 or 4 tbsp milk, around 3/4 tsp baking powder

Adapted from this recipe, written by a Canadian living in Shetland

I also looked at this recipe. I did not want to add turnips, orange juice, or tomato paste tonight.

The dumplings took closer to half an hour to cook in internally to 200⁰F. I decided I liked the baked look better, so I took the lid off about 15 minutes into cooking them, turned the heat up to 340⁰F with convection fan on, and baked the stew until most of the dumplings were golden and the internal temp hit 200⁰F.
